I like the first one. Looks like my car.

 

[eg6sir]

first one is a retrofit, done the right way.. second is a kit

 

[phunky.buddha]

Ah. HUGE difference. Was the second one a kit inside an incandescent projector housing or a stock headlight?

 

[eg6sir]

no idea.. found the pics online..

I'm at work right now. I'll get some pictures up by Sunday. If their not up tomorrow then it will be Sunday because Saturday is my 24th and I intend to do absolutely nothing productive besides working on my beer gut.

just curious if you managed to get the hid kit to fit with the projectors and not ruin them?

Both of my stock headlight buckets need to be replaced. The adjusters are broken on one and the lens is cracked on the other. I see Projectors are cheaper than the stock headlights. SO I pick a projector set and convert to HID? OK I'm stupid, but I haven't done this before.

Can anyone make a suggestion of what to buy,, or at least the products to stay away from?

Thanks
Alex

They're cheaper because they're not as well-made. Stay away from cheap headlights. At the very least, get DEPO brand OE style headlights. Best case is to get some new OEM headlights.
